Default sand blaster?

whats up guys.

im looking for someone to sand blast a set of wheels for me before i paint them.

i know of TRG coating but i would rather not PC them because i already have all the supplies to paint 'em.

stripping wheels is a pain!

you have to be careful sandblasting wheels because depending on what material you uses you could potentially ruin them...there are a lot of solvents that work great that will strip them down as well...

Aircraft stripper should do the job I would think. I have used that on all sorts of painted finished on metal and comes off immediately.

Yeah you need a massive compressor for sand blasting I believe!
Was looking into getting one. Need like a $1500 or something I think.
